Newsletter
May 2020
Note from the Editor
Published Since April 1997
I am sure everyone is aware of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
It is on the news every day. I know lots of changes are being
made to try to help protect the citizens in our Country and
Towns. As a County Commissioner we get a lot of updates.
I also sit on the Sarpy/Cass Health Dept. as one of my County
Committees. I spoke with the Sarpy/Cass Health Director and
she is monitoring the cases.
As most of you in Buccaneer Bay know June is when we have
the annual Buccaneer Bay Garage Sales, normally the first
Friday and Saturday in June. In speaking with the Sarpy/Cass
Health Director she noted we could go ahead and plan the
Garage Sales, but should more cases occur, we would need to
cancel them. For now, we can move the Garage Sales to June
19 & 20, which is 7 weeks away. Should additional cases keep
happening we will have to skip the Garage Sales and most likely
not have them this year.
I know some residents want to do their garage sale ahead of
the neighborhood garage sales. At this time the Sarpy/Cass
Health Director is against any Garage Sales before Jun 19th &
20th.
On Page 23 there is a sign-up sheet should you want to plan
on being in the 2020 Garage Sales to be held June 19th & 20th,
IF we are able to have the Garage Sales. In the past I have
charged the $5.00 to pay for the advertising, but for now just
drop the Garage Sale form off at my house at 2825 Lakeside Dr.
There is a special mail box that notes “Janet’s Mail”, as I
periodically get mail dropped off by Buccaneer Bay neighbors.
Sincerely,
Janet McCartney

Dog Doo Doo in Bucc Bay
You can tell we are now in the Spring Months. We have
neighbors that like to get out and walk and some like to take
their dog out on a walk too. There is nothing wrong with
walking your dog…but if your dog needs to take a bathroom
break, please clean up after he/she is done. Have a plastic bag
along with you to scoop up any mess.
Most people like dogs and enjoy walking them, but those
that do not clean up after their dog make it hard on others who
are just out for a walk. It is the neighborly thing to do!
Some suggestions from a Web Site:
https://www.thedodo.com/handling-dog-poop-tips-
1185926481.html
Bring Bags on Walks
Take a roll of plastic bags with you on dog walks. Use the
plastic bag to pick up the dog dodo and put it in the bag, throw
away when you get home.
If you forget a bag you might find one around the
neighborhood or a disposable cup. If you can’t find anything
to pick it up, at least come back after the walk and pick it up.
Some dog owners use an old flat shovel to pick up dog
dodo, and take it home to dispose of.
There are many boring-yet-safe ways to dispose of dog
poop. You can always shovel it into a plastic bag and throw it
in the trash. You can flush it down the toilet and let the
sanitation people deal with it, or hire a poop pick-up service
and outsource the task.

What to Do in a Car Accident Helpful tips on what to do! Posted in Auto Magazine
No one expects to get into a car accident. Although you can work to prevent and prepare for one, the sudden jolt may leave you
shocked and stressed and unsure of what to do next. While you try to wrap your head around what just happened, it’s easy to forget
vital actions that can aid your physical and financial recovery.
Just remember to be SAFE—both literally and by following our acronym:
S – Safety first
A – Alert authorities
F – Fact collection
E – Exchange information
Safety first
The No. 1 priority after a car accident is the safety of yourself and others. Immediately after the accident, be sure you:
• Turn on your hazard lights.
• If possible, pull your car over to a safe place. If not, stay inside with your seatbelt on.
• Check the safety of others and provide assistance to anyone with an injury.
• Don’t move an injured person. This can cause additional damage and should be avoided unless the person’s safety is at risk.
Alert authorities
Even if it’s a minor fender bender that you think you can settle among yourselves, it’s still important (and in some states, the law) to
call the authorities no matter how small the accident is.
• Call 911 or the local police station.
• Avoid saying “I’m sorry.” Even if you feel guilty, don’t admit fault—especially when talking to the police. You
may find out later that the other driver was actually to blame or that you share the blame.
o Even if you don’t show visible injuries, it’s recommended to call for medical help or at least visit the
emergency
o room or your doctor after you leave the area.
• Be sure to file an accident report, even if police don’t come to the crash site. Depending on the state’s laws and
the severity of the accident, police may not be dispatched. Filing a report puts the accident on the books and can
help speed up the claim process. • Fact collection
After an accident, you may feel a whirlwind of emotions. Stay calm, and immediately document the accident as you
experienced it.
• Take pictures of your car, any other cars involved and the surrounding area.
• Take notes on what happened before, during and after the accident. Include details about the location, weather, road
conditions and traffic control.
• Write down the names of any law enforcement officials or witnesses who are at the scene.
Exchange information
Swapping information is essential to work through any sort of claim or legal process that could result from a car accident. Be sure to
exchange:
• Names
• Addresses
• Phone numbers
• License plate numbers
• Driver’s license numbers
• Insurance providers
• Policy numbers
What to do once you arrive home
Unfortunately, even after you have SAFELY left the accident, there are still a few matters to take care of, such as filing a claim.
You’ll want to report your claim ASAP. The sooner you file a claim, the sooner your insurance provider can start working on it—and
the sooner you can get your life back together.
If you’re a Grange policyholder, you can report a claim by calling our 24-Hour Loss Reporting Center at (800) 445-3030. You can
also report your claim online after logging into or creating your own My Grange account.

How to Help Loved Ones (and Yourself) Deal with
Disaster Stress - What to Expect
Help for Adolescents
An Adolescent’s reaction to the disaster and the
evacuation may take some unexpected turns when their
natural need to rebel is coupled with confusion and rage
over what they have experienced.
Loss of trust in adults and fear of the events occurring
again are responses seen in many children and teens
exposed to traumatic events.
Teens show symptoms more like those of adults.
Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares,
depression, substance use, and/or acting out. They may
also feel extreme guilt because of a failure to prevent
injury or loss of life.
Parents and other adults can help teenagers cope. Take
time to listen. Do not pass judgement. Let teens know
that their feelings are normal and that it is okay to
express them. Be sure thy know they do not have to be
“tough”.
Here are some helpful things to consider in helping your
child:
- Make time to be with your teenager. Share
meals with them. Enjoy each other’s company.
Listen to each other.
- Allow your anxiety about what has happened
and acknowledge your fears.
- Handle conflict as a problem to be solved, not
as a war. Avoid pre-judging, labeling, or name-
calling. Focus on the issues at hand.
- Treat teenagers with respect. Praise and
acknowledge their accomplishments.
- If your teen is having problems at school, talk to
the teacher or school counselor so that you can
work together to help your teen.
- Have a discussion with your teen about how
strain in relationships can be expected.

Signs on SID Property Policy
Modified 12/16/2008 The SID has established a policy regarding signs on SID property. Other than those signs for which specific approval for
an extended period has been received from the SID board our policy is signs on SID property are only to be up for a total
of 72 hours, including the day of the event, and must be removed by sundown on the day of the event. Under this policy,
realtors are able to advertise their open houses, directions to a party may be posted, and garage sales may be advertised. The
size of the signs are to be limited to the standard size of a real estate sign, which is about 2’x2’. If signs are left up past the
72 hours, they will be removed by a SID board member and will be recycled. The policy also states that the signs must be
free standing. They cannot be attached to the exterior of the bulletin board located at the front entrance. All notices posted
on the bulletin board are to be mounted on the interior of the enclosed area.
If you are selling your home, please advise your realtor of the SID policy.

BUCCANEER BAY ANNUAL
GARAGE SALES
JUNE 19 & 20, 2020
8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
We will be having our annual neighborhood garage sales again. We are ALWAYS looking to improve – please
email Janet McCartney any suggestions or helpful comments at [email protected].
If you want to participate in the Buccaneer Bay Annual Garage Sale, please complete this form and return to
Janet McCartney at 2825 Lakeside Dr. Normally we request a $5.00 charge for advertising in the Cassgram
and the Journal. I will not place the ad until June 9th, so we know for sure if we will be able to have the Garage
Sales. I am not so concerned about the charge for the advertising. I just need this form filled out if you plan to
be in the garage sale.
###################################################################
Please check the days you will participate in the Garage Sale the weekend of June 19th and June 20th.
________ June 19, Friday Only
________ June 20, Saturday Only
________ Both Days
Name: _______________________________________________
Address: _______________________________________________ Phone: ____________________________________________________
Ads will run in the Plattsmouth Journal and Cassgram.
Signs will be placed at the entrances to the sub-division. By law, we cannot post signs on Highway 75 or Bay
Rd. Participants can place individual signs on their lot.
The dates are somewhat later this year, as we normally do the Garage Sales the first Friday and Saturday in
June. Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) I am moving it to June 19 & 20. I sit on the Sarpy/Cass Health
Department Board of Directors, and should the virus start spreading more the Director of the Sarpy/Cass
Health Dept. will request that the Garage Sales be cancelled. If that should happen, then most likely there
will not be a neighborhood garage sale this year, due to trying to find a good week-end.

The governor has allowed restaurants to open with
restrictions effective May 4th. We appreciate everyone’s
support over the past several weeks with the take-out orders
and have decided for the safety of our customers and our
staff, to continue doing take-out orders only. Our decision
may change as we continue to evaluate and work through
these difficult times and hope you continue to support us
and our decision. Thank you again for your patronage.
